Know Hem t«i Walk.^
Hlrfsonow nml hero to enter a oonw
plaint vigorously, and a source of griev|
anco against tho Mexican people. ' Yhejl
do not know how to walk. Whether
men or women, the same thing is true;
tile natural grace and innate tact of the
fair seat go no further toward mitigating
than the greater experience and stro^^
physique of their lordB. Intheinte
in those sections which the press of H
United States would term “the rural din-1
tricts,” this condition of affairs does not;
obtain?- There the people, the lower
> orders, in particular, have a free, elastic!
gait, which tells of strong, dependable!
■ muscles in excellent training, and the
I. poise of head and body is something'good
to see. Even, the courier; who runs all 1
day long at the same steady dog .trot
pace, lute an easy, unhampered move
ment. This is partly due to general good
health, exercise, abundant fresh air and
constant training from-youth, almost in
fancy; largely, also, to the custom of
bearing burdens upon the head, to main
tain which in equilibrium necessarily in
sures a perfect balance.
In the national capital the lower classes
carry their burdens, as a general rule,
upon the head; and,'while the weight
depends from the head by means of straps |
or stays, its pressure on- tho shoulders
acts aa leverage against undue strain, and
the constant effort to maintain equilib-1
unlovely to behold. Higher up tathe
scale the same results ensue from
ilar causes. .Walking is avoided as
P^H.as possible, as being not- only
[fatiguing but also plebeian; moreover,
the old prejudice against women appear
ing on tho street unaccompanied has not
entirely disappeared, and many are thus
hindered by social convention from exer-|
tions from which material considerations
would not deter them. It is no unusual
sight to see women, or men as well, for
that matter, take tho' horse cars for aj
distance of ono or two blocks only. Then
again the question of footgear is ad im
portant factor, the build of Mexican shoes
not . eing conducive to ease, grace or
rapidi. of movement. Women’s shoes
are by no means commo il faut unless
tho have high and tiny heels, set far
| underneath the sole, and tho shoeing of
both sexes is manufactured with the
narrow pointed toes whose pinching tor
tures not a few American toes hold in
unhappy remembrance.
Tho lower classes are free from this
handicap at least, being, oftener than
not, barefoot. Their feet, from continual
| exposure and want of care, take on tho
calloused, grainy appearanco of tho feet
of birds. In the interior the masses wear
either guaraches, which are rawhide sam
dais, or teguas, a species of soled, heel-
less moccasin of soft leather, both of
which chauasures protect thd foot, with
out particularly restrain^H^MiMtod
them, | Another element IRHIHHMHH
is the narrow, uncomfortoblo si'Walks. I
Mexican towns being laid out on thosys-|
tern of tho Spaniards, their banjHM
are almost invariably narrow in tho ex-1
Itreme. not infrequently givin^ rise to
somo local thrust or gag. For instance,
one street in Aguascalientcs is known as
the Street of tho Jealous from its pave
ment of not more than twenty indies
wide.—City of Mexico Cor. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
It .is Absurd
For pqopln to axpset a cure for ladigcw
tion, unless they refrain from eating
wliat la unwholesome; hot U anything
will sharpen the appetite and give tone
to the digestive organa, it is Ayer's Sar
saparilla. Thousands all over the land
testify to tho merits of this medicine.
Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of MS Eighth
street, South Boston, writes: “My hus
band lias taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, for
Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has
been greatly benefited.”
A Confirmed Dyspeptic.
O. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin at.,
Boston, Maas., write*, that, suffering,
for years'from Indigestion, ho was at ;
last induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
and, by Its tts^, was entirely cared.
Mrs. Joseph Aubin, ’of High street,
Holyoke, Mass., suffered for over' a year
from Dyspepsia, so that she could, not
eat substantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the medicines prescribed by
physicians* nor any of the. remedies
advertised for tho euro of Dyspepsia, |
helped her,'until she commenced the
use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. "Three
bottles of this medicine,” she writes,
“cured me.”

The Bobolink's Bald on Bice.
The bobolink, transferred to the south,
lives daintily on tho rice fields, and this
industry is actually crippled by these
birds, which appear in innumerable hosts
at seed planting and again at harvest
time. No one would imagine that our
well favored “Robert o’ Lincoln" comes
to us from a most fearful raid on rice,
and departs from us with the same evil
intent. Tho rice crop by the last census
was valued at $0,607,000, the product
being 110,000,000. pounds. The loss by
the rice birds is estimated at $3 000,000
annually. Thousands of men and boys
ore employed to shoot theso trespassers,'
and tho rice fields are shadowed by a
“sulphurous canopy,” as if some grand,
battle, was in progress. Tho last report
of the commissioner of agriculture has
somo startling facts in regard to the
ravages of these birds. The rice planters
are in despair. Individual losses are
often 60 per cent, of the crop, and from
$5 to $10 an acre is not uncommon. Tho
flight oi these birds is always in the
night They appear in tho spring in the
last half of April, end-return punctually
in South Carolina on Aug, 31 and tho
two or three days following.—Scientific

Baring ths scraps.
Some wiseacre has said that New York
wastes as much food as Paris uses. This
bnot altogether true, at least in our day.
We do not cook as skillfully and frugally
as the French, but we utilize our scrap -
and remnants more carefully than of
yore. Tho material sent away from the
tables of a big hotel is now industriously
garnered and carted off to somo of tho
minor restaurants, where it is recon
structed into tootiisome and wholesome
dishes for habitues who count their pen
nies before investing in a meal. Many a
savory 'morsel that, fails to tempt ths
palate of a millionaire thus finds its way
under the bolt of a tramp.
